Made a decision O pay Sunny Sue on idasion NUF. Yeah, I'll tell
you a little bit about Dame. Yeah, what's up? Everybody? Welcome
to for crying out loud. It's our Friday show, bitches. That's right,
Hi Caitlin, Hello, everything going? Okay? Everything's good. How
are you doing? We're good? Pretty good? Pretty good, pretty good.
I was watching a new Netflix show that I knew for a fact you
two would absolutely hate. Is it the Is it the? No? It's
called Three Body Problem. Oh, I want to see that. It's a
sci fi show where it time jumps back and forth everything you hate in a
TV show. No, but I agree but with you. But also I'm
going to disagree. Isn't it Liker a little bit? Not? No?
No? Than never mind? Really Okay, I gotta say the latest season
of Black Mirror was so disappointing. I don't even remember any of them,
but I was like, none of the God, yeah it wasn't I know,
it's not as good as like the very first few seasons were insane.
But Ripley though, I just found out on Facebook yesterday. Actually I do
want to see that because that I like that actor. But my cousin Italian.
One of my other cousins that I don't see that much. My Auntie
Leonarda, who I did grow up with. She's doing if you very watch
the very first scene in Ripley in the first episode. I did. There's
a woman. You hear her going like, who's there? An Italian?
That's my aunt really, because my cousin does the sound editing, I guess
they needed an Italian woman to speak in Italian and that's her. Yeah,
I know. It's like so funny, it's so cool. So then I
started watching it. Did you watch? Did you like it? I watched
the first episode. It's okay, and it was really like, not much
going on in the first episode, right, it's a it's it's a little
bit slow, and it's in black and white. I like that. It's
what what I always say is like I don't like stuff where people are just
like, oh my god, the cinematography, right, that's I just know
that's not going to be for me. And this is a if you look
at the reviews, people are just like, ah, the cinematography is incredible,
and it's like, if that's the thing that's standing out, I need
story. Yes, I know, I think people are really really liking it.
It's it feels very like, oh, tour, you know, it's
good. I mean it was good at how I watched the whole thing.
I got tired I watch I think I watched like two episodes. Okay,
all right, then I started getting tired. Yeah you you haven't seen it
yet. I haven't seen it. Yeah, it's fine, it's good.
I don't I mean, people are just like, oh my god, I
binge the whole thing. I don't, m M. But I'm a I'm
tough. I'm a tough customer. Yeah, I mean, they not that
my taste is so good. I'm just like, it takes a lot for
me to be like, I really like this show, right right. I
was. I downloaded Savages to watch, which I thought would be right up
my alley with because it's got Benicio del Toro and it's got uh Blake Lively
and oh and uh, what's the other actress, the big actress, this
Latina. There you go, and it's about like, you know, drug
cartel, and it takes place in l A and like at the you know,
by the beach and stuff. Eh, did you see it? Not?
For many years I don't remember being very Yeah, it wasn't. It
was like not that good for the like the star power and like the story,
Like I don't know, it's just kind of not good. Oh and
Oliver Stone, have you seen it? I've not seen it. No,
I've never even heard of it. I kept falling asleep and I don't know.
It just was okay. Yeah, I don't feel like I have anything
right now that I'm like excited. Yeah, there's one movie coming out this
weekend that I'm really excited about called Civil War Civil War? Have you with
Kirsen Dunst. She's in it? Oh? No? Is it literally about
the Civil War? No, it's about like if a civil war broke out
in America today. Oh, like a modern day civil war. And the
director of it is amazing. His name's Alex Carlin. He did like ex
Machina and Annihilation, and I've been looking forward to her for a long.
Is it coming out in the theaters? Yeah? Oh wow, that's good.
Yeah, because I feel like it's not a lot going not a lot
of TV happening right now. Yeah. I love that. Your first reaction
to is It coming out in theaters was like, oh, like for a
second, because I do. I'm with you. It's like, where am
I going? Yeah, Oh, I can't just watch it from my right.
I guess I'll have to give it like a month and then I can
watch it when it comes out. Idea of going to the theater now is
so foreign. It's just like, well, I'm not doing that. That's
not for me to drive to a place and park. You gotta find parking.
Yeah, no thanks, no thanks. I like, there's a movie
theater that's in my neighborhood, and sometimes they have major releases and sometimes they
just have only like foreign films and stuff. But I'm always like, if
it's not playing there, because I could just find parking walk down there.
It's like two seconds from my house. I could walk there. I'm like,
if it's not there, that seems like a kashaw a bigksha. Yeah,
I don't, like, I haven't gotten in the movies in a long
time now. It just yes, the parking got a out of that right
right when you can just watch eventually it comes out expensive to go to the
movies. It's like, well, so wait, I could rent it off
Amazon Prime a new release for like two ninety nine or even five ninety nine,
or I could pay twenty dollars a ticket, yeah, plus park l's
parking. No, dude, you know how much parking is at the Forum.
It was at Suzanne when she went, she bought a parking pass for
us to go for you had it was fifty bucks for a parking past.
But when they just went they had to park at the Sofi place, it
was like sixty eight bucks to park for parking. I know that it's crazy,
almost as much as a fucking concert ticket. Yeah, at this point,
this is ridiculous. Yeah, and yeah, why like, what the
fuck? It's crazy? Uh. So, Robin and I went to so
I went to San Diego for the weekend as I brought up on Tuesday and
just getting a room and it wasn't like a super fancy room or anything,
but the rooms were like three hundred dollars. That's what I paid. Three
hundred dollars plus well it's three hundred dollars and then a destination fee. There's
all these fees and about also its three hundred and thirty three dollars and then
plus when we got there, if you wanted to park, which you have
to park sixty for one night. So sixty dollars for that, so you
know you're at like four hundred bucks just for literally one night, right,
right, So I want to hear about should we say hi to our peeps?
And then yeah, let's say hi to our our gorgeous people. Where's
my and let's say that we're doing a Patreon zoom. Sorry I'm being doctor

but we love him. Nikki call you girl. Aaron who is not Anna

su Did Jennifer get up? Sandra's night? He's being green, Christy get
the strap. Stephanie's a stinker wrinker, Aaron is a dirty Sanchez and Sarah
Stefano is our pie Zano. Well, you know, I had this little
thing to say, this irritating thing that happened, but then I realized somehow
that it's apparently it's also an adam oh no, But I still I still
need to say this because because it happened. Okay, Xander and I were
at TJ Max, like you do, right. This is right before John's
birthday. We were getting him a red herring present. We got in some
underwear and some socks because then we were going to give him the John Mlaney
tickets. But anyway, so there was a lady with this cute like white
white and brownish, like a fluffy like a poodly muddy kind of dog that
was very cute and it was kept and she kept like being like stop it
like to the dog, and then it would like roll. It was like
rolling on the ground and stuff. And she had a poodle inside TJ Max.
You know, people bring their freaking dogs right everywhere. I know,
how many times do you see dogs in the grocery store? Dogs and restaurants?
I know? Well, you know I had Phil over the weekend with
me. We had a sleepover. He doesn't say much though it's not that
fun. But anyway, so you know, I don't want to leave him
alone for long period. And I just didn't want to leave him alone period.
First of all, I don't want him getting into anything, but I
can lock the place down. But you know, he's not not used to
my condo, and he stands right by the if I have to go out
to my cars, and he's like right there, and he gets anxious if
I leave him for a few minutes. So I was going to Bruce and
like, I haven't washed my hair in a few days, so I wanted
to go to dry bar and get a fresh blow dry yesterday. But I
was like, I would be great if I could bring Phil, you know,
but like you can't like to me, I would never bring Phil to
TJ Max, Like I wouldn't you know what I mean? Right, there's
yet a lady brought her dog, I think I told you this before,
brought her her dog to the gym the other day. What la fitness man,
These people have no shame. Yeah, she just has like a Pekinese
at the gym. You know, listen, no shade because it's just sleeping
by her pre core. But my brain was like, well, then can
I bring people? Yeah? Exactly. People doesn't like to be home alone
either, right, Like I don't feel like I would be comfortable bringing my
sixty five pound dog to the gym, right right, right, But then
I almost you almost want to be a Karen and go to the front desk
and go like, so people can bring their dogs now to the gym?
Is there a weight limit? Like how do you determine that? Is that
somewhere in the rules Exactly. It's like, if people can bring their little
dogs everywhere, how come I can't bring my one hundred pound dog everywhere?
Right? And also what about people that are allergic to dogs? There's people
that are you know, the dander and stuff, especially at a gym,
you know, I don't know, like where you're laying down on equipment,
there's dog hair floating around right the fuck? So this so she has her
dog there and we're in line, and the line at TJ Max is always
so long, so you know, you're like looking at stuff. But like
her dog was so cute and it was like laying on the floor. So
I was like, oh can I I'm always really careful with people, like
I would never just like start petting, start petting dog. But I was
like, oh, can I can I pet your dog? And she goes,
no, it's a service dog. Wow. And Xander and I look
at each other. This dog was not a fucking service dog. First of
all, it's not wearing any special not even a bandanna. It's just on
a leak. It's just on a normal leash. It doesn't so in my
mind immediately I was like, maybe it's an emotional support animal. But even
that, I was like, that would even be a stretch. This dog
was like not behaved exactly right. So then I'm thinking so but Xander and
I and we're trying so hard not to laugh because it was it was so
obvious that it's not a fucking service dog. Yeah. This woman's just a
bitch, you know. It's like that's fine. Maybe you're anxious and you
don't want people approaching your dog, but like, I'm not stupid. It's
not a service animal, right, So right, Xander and I are standing
there next to each other and we both like kind of do that, like
start to make eye contact, and then I'm like, oh my god,
I'm just trying so hard not to laugh. And then we walk out of
the store and Xander's like, Mom, it was not a service dog.
I was like, I know, that was ridiculous, and he goes,
yeah, I mean emotional support animal maybe, But I was like, no,
she was just rude. She was just rude. She just didn't want
us to pet her dog. There's no reason, or why don't you just
say my dog's kind of an asshole and might nip at you, and I
shouldn't probably have it at TJ Max because it's not that friendly. There's a
lot of things you could have said besides a complete why yeah, right,
just say no. But I was like, that's a lie. And even
then I was like my brain was trying so hard to make it not a
lie. So I was like, maybe she trains surface animals and it's like
a service animal and training, but you know what, I've seen those dogs
and they usually, yeah, they have a thing. I was like,
these friends parents have these dogs that they train, and they always have the
thing on them when they take them out. Yeah. And also, this
was just not a dog that would be a service dog, right, you
could just tell yeah, it was a mutt. It was like, not
this type of dog that would be a service dog. So anyway, I
just got like really irrationally angry about the whole thing, and I was like,
that sucks. They suck, I know, I know, And why
do Why can't you pet a service animal like I guess you can't. Yeah,
they distract them, I guess I don't know. Yeah, but yeah,
if you're going to have a service dog, train them to be like
let people like, don't they want to be petted? You know? Yeah?
How they get hurt? All right? Why do they have to get
they're working on the job. I know they can't. Like even people that
have jobs get a break, right right. That would be like telling me
if I had an office job, like no snacking, think it could be
distract be like, well I can't have a snack where or don't talk to
anybody? Yes, I mean, my god, that would be the worst
job if they're like, no, no socializing at all with anybody at your
job because you don't want to get distracted, Like you might not notice the
phone ring. I'd be like, I'd still notice the phone ring and multi
to ask, Yeah, like you can't sniff out of diabetes attack, will
somebody's just giving you a little pat on the head. It's ridiculous belly rum.
Yeah, yeah, we need to who do we talk to? I
don't know. Maybe we should start our own Oh god, here we go,
academy for dogs. Yes, yes, I will be the ones training
them. Yes, I've never done dog training before, but I have some
really good ideas. Like I think I know more than people that I've seen
training their dogs that I'm like. That doesn't seem like a good right,
And listen, don't base it off of my dog not being trained. Let's
not go there. Listen, if I was, if Phil was getting paid,
then I would train him. But what's he doing. He's not doing
anything but sucking in cold air from the vent and blown out out from his
ass sitting in the air conditioning house. He's not doing anything. Yeah,
and I'm with you because I've never formally trained Penelope. But she's a good
girl. Okay, there you go, there go, I'm doing something right
or she was trained before me. The point is we can sniff out good
or bad training in other people's dogs. I'm good at judging that, and
I think we could do it. We could. We should start our own
dog training. So when you get a service dog from our from Lynette in
the LSU our university. Why stop at our own university. We have to
have academy, our dog training academy. When they graduate from our dog training
academy, the one thing that you have to do is give them frequent breaks.
Yes, but and and pat them on the head and scratch their belly
and let people give them a little treat. Yea, let people say ahead
to them. But maybe the cop shouldn't have their dogs trained by ours.
We're not that good. We're not training dogs sniffing. It's not that kind
of training. It's like for for blind people, yeah, or people almost
need emotional support, yes, yes, or people that you know don't have
something high level like it's not like life or dust right, Like it's like
you need a service dog, but it's like it's not going to totally go
sideways if they're not Johnny on the spot. Yes, Like our dogs aren't
pulling out needles like in case somebody goes into amflecting ship right right y,
not getting crazy, No, No, we just we're compating their companion dogs
that are that are called senior citizen. You don't need a dog to do
much but like lay their nap, right, we train your dog to go
into hospitals and be like, we'll train the dogs not to bite, but
they should get trained. They should be used to being petted. Yes,
for any situation where people are gonna want to pet your dog, Yeah,
we're going to train them for that. Yes, there you go. And
so like, if you want to take a nap, we'll train your dog
to be a nap scot. Nap Scott, lay next to you, chill
out, that's what that's what we do. Wait, if you want to
watch Dateline, but you need a dog that could be good for that,
will sit still for that? Right you know? Yes, it doesn't try
to like poke you and need to go out like during the intense part of
date Line. Yes, that's your dog. That's our academy. It's pretty
specialized. You know what. We I think we could kind of charge a
law for that. I think we should. It's a Patreon level. That's
like a fifty dollars level. Yeah, like a business shout out. Plus
you get your dog trained right there you go. Yeah, all right,
let's take a quick break. Okay, let's talk Oh yeah, yeah,
let's talk about neutrifol. Oh yeah, we love neutrifle. We love it.

okay, So, as you heard on Tuesday's episode, I went to this
writer's festival. By the way, shout out to Jessica Crawford. She's one
of our listeners. She came in and found us at the festival. Oh
nice. Yeah, but so Robin came with me. She was so sweet.
I messaged her and I was like, I have to go to San
Diego for this writer's festival. I go. You wouldn't happen to want to
go with me. She's like really perfect to ask to do shit because she
has one kid and he's graduating college this year, right, so she you
know, I mean, she has a husband who's you know, likes to
spend time with her, but whatever. So yeah, so sometimes she's just
very spontaneous that way. So she was like, yeah, I'm in,
let's go. That's the best. Great. So she drove, which was
so sweet of her because you know about my driving anxiety. But anyway,
so we get to San Diego and we stayed at this hotel and so what
was it. It was a writing It was a writing festival. It was
a writer's festival. So I was on a panel for Memoir and I was
also on a panel for Quitlet for Drunkish Okay. So my first panel was
the one of the first ones of the day. It was like at nine
thirty, so I couldn't. I would have driven up maybe that morning.
Some people had panels that were like at twelve forty five, but mine was
the first thing in the morning. So I was like, I got to
I don't want to. I don't want to get up at six am and
drive to San Diego and be sweating it. I'd rather go the night before.
I don't blame you. Yeah, So we get in and we check
into our hotel and then we're such We were like, well, we were
at the gas Lamp District, which is have you been to San Diego a
long time ago? Well, there's this area where it's downtown where all like
the restaurants are, and we were staying right there, like right across the
street. So it's kind of perfect. So we go street. It's very
much reminded me of the Third Street Promenade like in La yea restaurants and like
stores on both sides. And anyway, we're walking along and you remember my
story about being in New York with LB when we got accosted by the picture
by the people dressed up in costumes and they want you to take a picture.
Right. I don't know if this has ever happened to you in LA,
but this is a big thing with like I do want to say,
like aspiring rappers and they give you their cd're talking about Yes, it happened
to me in New York. Yeah, with the CDs. Yes. Yeah.
So Robin and I are walking along, minding your own business, and
basically this guy comes up and he's like he gives me a CD. He's
like, hey, you know, struggling rapper. We're trying to start a
thing and blah blah blah. It's like a whole hustle. I'm holding the
CD in my hand and I'm like because he literally put the CD in my
hand and also gave one to Robert two, and I was like, oh,
you know, good for you. I'm I'm such a sucker for I'm
like, okay, cool, cool, cool, like and he's like,
yeah, so you know if you could, Like I don't know what he's
asking me to do, but in my brain already I'm thinking literally about this,
and I'm like, I don't have a CD player even I even play
a CD in my mind. And I was like, well I don't.
I'm so sorry. I was like, here, look, I don't want
to wait back to and he's like okay, well, like but you know,
but can you give us a donation for they want a donation? And
I was like, well, I don't really have any cash on me,
and he's like, oh, well, we take them back so now.
And then you're just like, oh my god, it's such gonna be such
a bigger ordeal to go. No, I don't want the CD like now
I'm in I don't want a confrontation vacation like now I'm going to be having
a fight with a street performer. But by the way, they're not even
performing anything, like it's not even like listen. It'd be one thing if
it was like a busker and they're playing a song and then they're like,
hey, do you want to purchase our CD? No? Well, do
you want to give us a donation? I understand that these guys weren't doing
anything. They're just like, hey, there's and I don't even think there
was music. I was just gonna say, how did we even know there's
music? I don't think there is. I think it was like, because
why are they pressing? Like, who's listening? Who's got a CD player?
Anymore? Right? Nobody? And by the way, do you look
like they're demographic? No? You no, like middle aged mom. But
they're like, but it's like, we're trying to do good in the world,
and this is a that we made this music that's about like we're trying
to help other people. I don't know how they're helping other people. They
don't have a foundation, but you know, it's happening so fast, and
now at this point, I'm just like now I want out of the situation.
So I'm like, what is wrong with me? And of course I'm
flashing back to New York. I'm like, how what I'm just the easiest
fucking mark. Meanwhile, other people are walking by like no, thank you,
I know, and they're like that's fine because we got these fish on
the line right now the only way I got. Then they're like okay.
So I'm like, okay, all right, uh well, what's your venmo?
I'm like, what's your venmo? Right down your venmo? He's like,
no, no, no, I'm gonna you can scan my gun.
So now I have to scan his motherfucking venmo. Well, like, I
can't be afraid that they could take your information or something. I don't know,
you never know, like hackers. I don't know, like they could
take your who knows. I don't know why. I wasn't gonna be accusing
them of possibly hacking my venmoe, I know. But I was like,
okay, So I scanned his code and then he stood there over me while
I like okay. So I was like, how much am I going to
give this fucking guy? So I gave him ten bucks because wow, and
then I was thinking yeah, and then and then Robin did too, even
though Robin was kind of pissed. Yeah, seriously, Robin was like,
how did I get? Now? How did I get? I would have
just walked by, except for this bitch is like takes the CDs. Now.
I got to take a CD because I'm with her. And so later
she was like, oh, we should have just walked by, and I
was like, I know, but how much did you give? And she
goes ten dollars and anyway, I was thinking, like, what a racket,
because I would I like to give money to the homeless unhouse people,
but like they're not getting ten bucks a pop, right, like you know,
yeah, they're getting whatever you got. And your people are like,
yeah, maybe I should just have a blank CD. I walk around with
CDs, go buy some CDs for the store and ask people to be like
it was such a hustle. Yeah. I got really annoyed afterwards, and
I was like, I have to be more of a bitch. I have
to like have blinders on, don't talk to people on the street, just
keep walking by, right like everybody else that zoom passed you, going no
thanks, no thanks, I know. Then we walked by these other people
that had like proper like vests on and they were trying to raise money for
like an actual organization that like helps people, and I was like, no,
thank you, and they and they said, oh, the rappers got
you. Huh, you got a CD. They knew because they were probably
getting screwed because the rappers had like no shame, they were just stopped.
They were just like giving you a CD. You don't get a choice,
right, which reminds me of those New York picture takers. They were just
like you before you know what. They got their arm around you and they're
like, get the picture. And then they don't even wait for you to
take the picture because that's too much of a risk of you saying like no,
no, no, got it. They take the picture and then they're
like, here's the picture. You gotta pay them for it. That is
such a racket, I know, really is you gotta be you gotta like
get ready to be a bitch whenever you're in another city. Are your own
city, your own city where there's because that would happen on the Third Street
promenade. Yes, yeah, I feel like in my own city, I'd
have more of like a like what I yeah, no nothing, no thanks
right? Yeah? I mean you could see like New Yorkers walk, I
mean probably have to pass it a million times a day on their way to
home or own to work, whatever. So then we were kind of hungry
and we'd eaten lunch way earlier, so we were such old people were like,
well, let's just eat an early dinner. Yeah. So we went
to this place that had a happy hour like menu, a happy hour menu.
It was so good. It was this seafood place. So we went
there at five point thirty and we had I had oysters, I had some
lobster bass love it, and we had some salad and it was like really
really good. But now it's six thirty and we're like, well we had
dinner every night, and so we were both, did you guys share a
room? We share? Yeah? Of course yeah. So uh so we're
both looking at each other and there's some that have like live music, you
know, and we look at each other and she was like, should just
go back to the hotel? I was like yes, because we'd already walked
around, walked up and down. I was like, what are we going
to go explore downtown San Diego. We're in our fifties now, No?
Thanks? Yeah? Like yeah, the city, right, it's very similar
to other cities, Like what are we gonna do? We're not we're not
here for a concert, like we're here for something the next morning. Yeah,
right, So we're like, you know what, Yes, let's just
go back to the room. So we're literally in the room by like seven
o'clock. We Binge watched Love on the Spectrum. Oh I love it.
Oh, I can't wait to ask you about I freaking love that show.
We watched like five episodes of Love on the Spectrum and then like went to
bed. Ah I love it, except that and this hearkens back to our
Tuesday episode, except that then I was in deep anxiety mode because I was
like, olb, we didn't get in Ebe didn't get into Irvine, and
now she's not gonna get this is a bad omen. And now she's not
going to get into any UC's and then what are we gonna do? She's
gonna be have one school. So my brain is doing that, so I
can't sleep. Robin's like, fall asleep, huh, And I'm like,
now I'm just awake with my thoughts. But eventually I fall asleep. Do
you guys snore? Anybody snore? No? No, I don't think so.
Because I had to share a room one night on vacation with Natalia,
and in the room is like two twin beds. So she's like, I
know you're gonna snore. I go, I don't snore, and she goes,
I've heard you fall asleep because I have like a light snore or whatever.
So I'm minding my own business falling asleep. First of all, she
goes to bed earlier than me, so I'm like, yeah, go to
bed, so you get a head start and I won't bother you know,
I won't wake you up. I get in bed, I fall asleep within
five minutes, and I get this. I get a bunny rabbit thrown right
at my face. She hits me right in the face, wakes me up,
and she's like, you're snoring. I told you you'd snore, and
pick up the bunny rabbit threw it back at her as she was drinking water,
spilled the water all over her. She's like, mom, so that's
what happened when I had to share a room. Oh yeah, So there
was none of that going on, no bunny rabbits being done. Nobody was
really snoring. So so we wake up in the morning really early because we
both are just early risers because it's the dog, and you know her,
she she gets up super early. To teach. She gets up at like
four forty five in the morning. Wow, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah,
I would have quit so many years before. So so anyway, we're
like, okay, we were thinking about having breakfast in the hotel. Now
my, I'm supposed to be there an hour early. My, my,
I'm supposed to get there at let's say eight thirty, and then there's gonna
be there's all these instructions about parking and where there's parking. So I'm starting
to get a little bit like, okay, I want to make sure.
So we're gonna have lunch in the hotel. But I'm like, okay,
Also, we have to get our car out of the sixty dollars parking lot.
I got to check out of the hotel. Like my brain is just
going, okay, got to do these things. Got to make sure we're
checked out, pack up all of our stuff. So we're finally Robin's like,
you know what, let's just go to Coronado because the it was at
Coronado. We're in downtown San Francisco. We drive over to the Coronado Bridge.
It's not far. It's like it's like a ten minute trip. That's
it, right, But you have to go over this bridge and then find
and she's like, you know what, let's just relax, let's just get
there early. We'll go we'll go to Coronado, we'll find the parking,
we'll go eat it, we'll grab something at Starbucks. I'm like, okay,
great. So we get there, we order, we order something from
Starbucks, we find our parking, we walk, we get into the festival
and they're like, the festival has been pushed Oh. And then we meet
up with Jessica Crawford, who's one of our listeners who came and found us.
That's awesome. She was like, Stephanie, so she came for you
to see you. Yeah, that's nice. Yes, yes, And she
hung out with us and she's super super sweet, and she's got really cute
kids. Yeah, a really cute kid with her. Her other kid was
back east. Anyway, should we take a quick break and then I'll tell
you what happens? Okay, yeah, okay, okay. So we're hanging
out with Jessica, we get the news that hey, the whole festival has
been pushed back an hour because there's a jumper on the bridge. Holy shit.
Yeah, and we were like, so they closed the bridge. They
closed spoiler alert. The person's fine, they didn't jump, Okay, so
I should tell you I'm not trying to build tension on the pain of somebody's
else. That person has gotten help. They're not on the bridge and they're
not jump. But they closed the bridge, so some people were beyond.
Like some people were stuck the whole time. They basically closed it down.
They were diverting. There's another way to get there, but it takes like
forty five minutes to go all the way around this other back way to get
into Coronado, but it's far, so all these people that were waiting to
get on the bridge were the police stopped. But there were some people that
were too close, so they closed it behind them. So some people,
and one of them was a panelist on my first panel, was stuck on
the bridge for three hours. Oh my god. Yeah. She said that
it was crazy, like there were I mean, there were a certain amount
of cars that, like I said, were beyond where they could close the
bridge down, so they just had to wait. They were like behind the
police activity Jesus. And she said that people were out of their cars and
like talking to each other, and she was like trying to selling her book
to people. Wow. But she was super so god. Yeah. So
she came like in the middle of anyway, and this woman was like,
she has anxiety and she has bridge anxiety. This person was on my panel.
Wow. Yeah, I felt so bad. This author named Jessica Keith,
that's her name. Anyways, like being on a bridge. She has
something weird with bridges. Yeah yeah, and and just has anxiety. So
yeah. Wow. Anyway, eventually they opened up the bridge and then people
but I think that the festival was a little sparse because I think a lot
of people were like, oh, the bridge is closed, we'll forget it.
And when yeah, you know, wow, so what you were supposed
to be there at what time? And and that bridge was shut So I
weren't supposed to get there an hour before my panel was it? And I'm
thirty. I was supposed to be there by like eight forty five, parked
and like ready to go checking in. So I got there so but but
by the time I was like on the grounds of the Writers' Festival, I
was still there early. I was there very early, but we got there
like another forty five minutes before that. Well, thank god. And to
bed early. I know, otherwise you would have been stuck in that house.
So we were we had no idea, like what we got there?
No problem, it's no problem, as you would say, great, and
then we find that out, it's like, what are the chances that this
bridge that we just crossed over completely closed down? Police everywhere talking a jumper
off the bridge. Wow, that's crazy. I know. I thought bridges
like that have something now or maybe not. It's nice golden gate, A
golden Gate's like, yeah, possible, Like there's like fencing, right,
and now I think a lot of bridges have nets they put and I think
they're going to be putting a net under that bridge really, but yeah,
what are the odds of that happening? Like while you're there? I know?
That's crazy, right, yeah, super weird. Okay, so so
you're so yeah, then I had too. So I had my that panel,
and then I had another panel, and then and then we drove home.
That's nice. That sounds that sounds good. I love a friend like
Robin, you know, like that you can just call up and bring with
you. It's great. Yeah, she's such good company. Is she's such
an easy like she doesn't I'm sure she has some anxieties about things, but
they're not the same anxieties I have, which there comes in handy, yes,
like she can drive and I have to worry. Yeah. Yeah,
But it was really sweet too, because, like I said, like I'll
just reiterate from last from on Tuesday, But you know, I was,
I was. I was really upset about the LB. I just in my
mind, the the not getting into Irvine, not getting into cal Poly slow.
I was like, in my mind agreeing with LB, like this is
not a good sign. This is like I still have hope, of course
for the other schools, but like I just ugh, if this goes the
same way as before, Like I now have a bit like in my mind,
I'm just like she doesn't deserve that. She has worked so hard.
Yeah. But then when I found out that she got into Irvine, it
was like it was like the heavens open. I was like, oh my
god. And just to see Robin like emotional and she started crying. She's
so relieved and happy for me. Oh I know that. I know,
like you know, when our kids are going through something like that, it's
it's it's it's your problem too. It's not just their problem. I know,
it's something that you worry about and you think about. I know,
it sucks. You know, like there's that say, you're only as happy
as your happiest kid, you know, so if you got a kid who's
suffering, it's hard, even if the other ones are doing great, Like
you just feel unsettled, right incredibly. Yeah. I mean, like when
we were in Florida, we found like Sonny did the the enrollment, the
late enrollment for the medical stuff, and now they replied and said they'll they'll
do a zoom, but they need to have like all these things. You
know, they want letters of recommendation, which is he's working on. But
like, you know, he was just so disappointed that that he was steered
in the wrong direction from this counselor that told him to wait and that would
be easy, it would be better if he did the medical reason whatever.
And it's like, you know, I I his chances. I don't know
how they're going to be at this point. I don't know. We'll see.
I'll hopefully have more information next week. But it's he completely off of
the idea of doing Wazoo because I I thought he was excited about Washington State.
He was what I thought he was, but no, I think I
think after talking to some of his friends. He has one friend that's already
there, and I think another friend is going there. But after talking to
that one friend that's already there, I think, really he was like,
that's the school for me. I guess because they had a long talk about
it and he asked him like, how does he like it, and blah
blah blah, asked him about all these questions, and he's like, after
talking to him, he's like that that's I think where I want to go.
So, you know, I mean, I guess he does have backup,
you know, unlv I didn't. He didn't even tell me about he
got into that one either until recently. But he was like, yeah,
he goes. I don't know. I just applied because you know, maybe
if Dad moves there or something, then I'll be near Dad. But now
he's more excited about it too, because he's got another friend's older brother is
there and talk to him about it, so he's you know, he's really
trying. You know, he really wants to go, but he wants to
be at the place he really wants to be at. So but how does
he know he wants to be at University of Oregon. Has he toured it?
No, But because he's talked to these people, he's talked to,
you know, friends that a friend that's there, that's been there for this
first year. And but there are a lot different. Everybody's different, but
they're a lot. They are a lot alike. They grew up together.
So I don't know, you know, I mean, how do you I
I wanted to take him to go to Washington because Suzanne just went, and
he was like, no, you know, he wants to go this University
of Oregon route. So I don't know. We'll see, but yeah,
I'll be happy when everybody's like settled, we know where they're going. Once
that happens, you know, just just the unknown. Then you know their
graduation is coming up and their birthdays are coming up. It's like two things
in the one week, you know, in June. Yeah. Yeah,
so yeah, a lot of big things. The end of an era.
I know, it's so sad. Yeah, well, we'll still have plenty
to talk about, Yes we will. I'll be will be at school.
